Mohammed ‘Little Crazy’ Hamzy leaves Australia as police fear for his life

Infamous Sydney gangster Mohammed “Little Crazy” Hamzy has left Australia after his parole was relaxed in a considered move intended to save his life from potential threats.

Infamous Sydney gangster Mohammed “Little Crazy” Hamzy has left Australia after his parole was relaxed in a considered move intended to save his life from potential threats.

The 37-year-old was released from Macquarie Correctional Centre in Wellington on June 20 this year after serving more than a decade behind bars for the 2012 shooting death of Yehya Ahmoud.

During that time Hamzy, better known in the underworld as “Little Crazy” or just “LC”, had five of his relatives and fellow alleged members of the Hamzy organised crime network gunned down as part of Sydney’s ongoing gang war.

Mohammed "Little Crazy" Hamzy has gone abroad.

Mohammed "Little Crazy" Hamzy was released from prison last month.

Now, less than one month after being released back into the community on parole, Hamzy has headed off overseas.

In a statement, his solicitor said he intended to spend “time with his family” but still had plans to return home.

“Mr Hamzy has continued to comply with his strict parole conditions and sought the appropriate permission and approval prior to his departure with family,” she said.

“His intentions are to spend much needed time with family and return to life at home in Australia.”

It is not known where Hamzy is in the world, but it is understood him being able to head overseas was part of a considered and agreed position by both police and the State Parole Authority.

Neither the State Parole Authority or NSW Police would not comment on the decision.

Within days of Hamzy’s release from prison State Crime Command’s Raptor Squad raided where he was living and served him with a firearm prohibition order to signal to would-be rivals they were keeping a close eye on him.

The exact location of where he was living while in Sydney on parole was a closely guarded secret, again in an attempt to protect his safety.

Hamzy’s other parole conditions included wearing an electronic ankle bracelet and a ban on associating with known criminal gangs or outlaw motorcycle members.

Until the agreed relaxing of his parole, he was also prevented from leaving Australia.

Hamzy’s cousins Mejid Hamzy, Ghassan Amoun and Bilal Hamze were three of the biggest fatalities of the ongoing conflict on Sydney’s streets.

Mejid’s death in October 2020 is considered by many to be the catalyst for the 16 assassinations to follow.

Bilal’s gunning down on Bridge St at the heart of Sydney’S CBD is one of the most brazen of the war, while the killing of Ghassan in January 2022 came just days after he had been released from prison himself.

Overseas has become the new stomping ground for individuals on all sides of the city’s underworld war.

Several high profile members of the Alameddine crime clan, the Hamzys rivals, have turned their back on Sydney in recent times and moved to Lebanon – where their family hails from.

In total, more than 80 individuals with links to the underworld have left Sydney and moved overseas since the start of 2022.
